Bravo!
Such a mystery is the perfection of Middle-Earth. It inspires insatiable curiousity and provides the ideal flaw that is necessary for all mythology. Tom draws attention not only in his personality, but his existence as a whole. He is an enigma that occupies his own little space in a world which is not his, but which he has made his own. He has his own rules that apply to him alone. He has enough significance to attract the reader, but lacks enough plot importance to be seriously considered. He is the perfect flaw.
